Your suggesting that once built SISU will own it and rent it to whoever owns the football club is a cautionary one for sure. Your saying a hedge fund holds onto an outpost without selling it for increased value as it would form part of the football club? If SISU's plan (as been stated) is to...

I think if such a deal had been offered to SISU dong we would all be happily looking forward to the first game at the Ricoh in 6 weeks! the figures do add up! the sponsored build, the loans repayable and the fact it will value the club much higher with it's own freehold stadium and all income...

Otis ACL/Council are not willing enough to make a deal for the Ricoh though are they? So where does anyone go from there? Sentiment as you describe I can't argue with but corporate reality is another. You may not want to believe in a new stadium that the football club will actually own and...

The never never land you talk about O may well come true. Unless the Ricoh is assigned to the football club for the long term and not operated by a management company for profit on behalf of taxpayers then it will not be sustainable. ACL and the council are foolish when it comes to dealing...

Perhaps you will stop backing these self publicising clowns. Most on here want to believe anything that is not coming from SISU. Just sayin'...

Partially correct turkey trot but not accurate. However I agree with the sentiment but that's still no reason we are here today and not helped by a lack of support from the council when required most for an obvious situation that would not go away until finally addresses in some form to the...

To the OP: If as it seems you are against and totally disinterested in a new stadium as in your opinion it would be "ruinous" then why are you so interested in him answering those questions on it? Could not be that behind your veil you know as I do a new ground within easy reach would see...

Of course they will not bid on owning the football club! They can't even manage the stadium properly or even pay their mortgage without a bail out? How on earth would they have funded a football club? It just tells me what idiots there are at ACL and bungling councillors everywhere.

I can't quite believe what I hear on here from some of you. It is at times so self interesting. Why not look at it the way it is and climb out of the bubble some of you are in and recognise that this is not purely all SISU's fault? There are culprits that are as much culpable as they are in...

Why will it go to court if SISU are the preferred bidder? Should they regain control then that suggest others have bid and failed. Why would any of those 'others' wish to challenge that in court? Can't see Haskell spending outrageously on a fantasy of Joe Elliott's battling with SISU in court...

I'm a football supporter and to that end I will watch my team where ever they play if they are capable of fielding a team! It's not about the politics of ownership when it comes right down to it. It's about the players on the pitch, the points we win and lose. I just simply won't be inspired to...

This is a lot of smoke and mirrors I'm afraid. ACL are now realising SISU will indeed ground share and build elsewhere leaving ACL with a white elephant. I said ACL could not survive without the football club and the foot traffic if produces for all vendors at the sight a very long time ago...

I fear not very much of that will be asked OSB!

They don't need merging. ACL should not exist. the council should stop trying to operate a football club at arms length and dish out a long, long lease to the football club.

Just caught this thread late. Oh dear he was back again? I see many on here like blowing smoke up peoples rear end when it suits them? :facepalm:

I think David Beckham is odds on for the gong. Our Jimmy should get one really, I do agree. Think he has an OBE or something ? Sometimes you can relate to who it's given too and other times you can't really understand it. Brian Clough is a great shout but he was not an establishment guy was...

Again there is so much sentiment blocking peoples views here. It's not about sentiment but business sense. I'm sorry to all of you who harp on about it's our club and they can't do that to us syndrome. Well I feel the same generally but the difference is I have to put that aside and think of...

can't argue too much with what grego is saying. SISU have made lots of mistakes and any owner does all the time. They are not ideal owners however and that is the reason most want them gone, in hope that a new owner will improve things. Any new owner will be hampered by the same restrictions...

Why would the FL have failed the community if they allowed CCFC to move to a temporary ground while building a new stadium it would own within the Coventry area? Brighton did it and won't be the last. The Ricoh is not the home of CCFC while it merely has a sub lease from ACL without anything...

To answer the OP. While I don't condone what appears to be poor management of our football club by SISU I can't put my hand on heart and say they should be hounded out. It's clear we could be better run by another owner but equally the reverse could be said. We truly don't know all the...
